This is a little TMI but I have to ask. I'm 9 days post op and last night I was having watery BM all night and into this AM. Feeling blah. Had my first taste of a Protein Shake yesterday. Could that of been the reason??? Has that happened to anyone else?

All I've had are watery BM's ... but Protein Shakes seem to make them particularly bad

So much for that. The 1/4 cup total of cottage cheese mixed with peaches? Yeah. That came back up. So' date=' so far, I can eat scrambled eggs and yogurt. What the hell did I do to myself? I just wanna cry.[/quote']

I can do 1scrambled egg with a sprinkle of cheese and little salsa.... malt-o-meal. ... and teaspoon refried Beans mixed with a tablespoon plain greek yogurt ..and small amounts of Wendy's chili (a small lasts about 6 meals).... but I cannot tolerate yogurt or Protein Shakes

They're 2.9oz. I couldn't even get through one. I tried it late at night tho. Maybe if I try it earlier on the day. I have more of a chance of getting rid of the taste. Lol.

I also heard it might help to get it really cold.

I had them in the fridge for about 3 hrs before I tried it. They're not quite a juice consistency. They have kind of a creaminess to them. And they're kinda sour. I think if I take a swallow every couple of hours and not try to down it in one sitting, it'll be better.

I been in so much pain, it was like a burning pain along with the soreness, it was so bad I could hardly move. Well the hospital has this med called Toradol, it seem to work miracles, one injection today, tomorrow, two injections, and then on Saturday, one more injection, they said this type of pain management should help me alone, I hope so, that pain I was in...oooweeee!!!! Lol other than that I'm ok. Since my surgery (6/10/13), I'm down ,7 lbs, altogether I've lost 16lbs...now only If I can meet my liquid intake amounts.

Surgery was yesterday morning. Cant believe i am feeling as well as i am! Discharged from the hospital about an hour ago. Feeling pretty good, just occasional spasms or what I think are spasms, it may be gas bubbles. I haven't taken anything for gas. My only real pain is when I take deep breaths in.

I guess I can't do green smoothies anymore. :( Four drinks and BAD stomach pain. This is the first time something hasn't agreed with me. I'm surprised the pain has lasted this long? (half hour).

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
